Hyper-Kamiokande is a scientific project supported by relevant Japanese institutes and lead by ICRR U. Tokyo and KEK, and includes the involvement of scientific organisations globally (see http://www.hyper-k.org)

The meeting is expected to attract 100 participants, including renowned figures in the field of neutrinos research and their respective research teams.

These meetings are usually held at Kashiwa campus, Tokyo University. The current meeting being one of the few times that it takes place outside Japan; this is due to the excellent working relations between Japanese and Spanish scientists in this field of Science

The American Physical Society (APS) has selected 147 Outstanding Referees for 2018 that have demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals. A full list of the Outstanding Referees is available online at http://journals.aps.org/OutstandingReferees.

The Universe is filled with an immeasurable number of galaxies that themselves are accumulations of billions of stars. Understanding how these 'islands in the universe’ formed and evolved and how they are distributed throughout the Universe is central to the field of Cosmology. Luckily, we now live in an era where both ground-­‐ and space-­‐based telescopes are being designed to study the Universe out to unprecedented distances, peering back billions of years to when the Universe was an infant. But the interpretation of these data requires theoretical models. As such, astronomers generate model universes, where galaxies are simulated, which may act as a test bed for the assessment of theories. However, such virtual universes are computationally expensive, numerically challenging, and often lack the sheer number and details of the galaxies we observe.

LACEGAL (March 2017-Feb 2021) is a Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) lead by the ICC at the University of Durham with participation from other 9 EU institutions (including UAM, Spain) and 6 non-EU countries (Argentina, Chile, Brasil, Colombia, Mexico, China).
